Does 308 kick more than 6.5 creed?
Recoil impulse depends on rifle weight, bullet weight, and load construction, but all things being equal, the 6.5 Creedmoor produces about 25% less recoil than a . 308 Win. That toned-down recoil helps prevent flinching and allows hunters to make shots in more awkward shooting positions. The .
How accurate is the 6.8 SPC?
The 6.8 SPC is capable of excellent accuracy as well. However, the aforementioned advantages the 6.5 Grendel has in terms of bullet drop and resistance to wind drift make the Grendel a much better cartridge for long distance shots past 300 yards, especially when used in a rifle with a longer barrel.
What is the new 6.8 military round ballistics?
In Army research, officials said, the 6.8 mm round outperforms the 5.56 mm on distance, accuracy and energy for lethal effects on target. That measure counts for lethal effects on either protected or unprotected targets.
What is the difference between a SPC and a 556 bullet?
The ballistic coefficient of the 6.8 SPC is higher than the 5.56 due to the shape and weight of its bullets. For example, in most 110-grain loads the 6.8 runs a BC in the .360 to .370 range compared to the 55-grain 5.56’s .185 to .257. What this means is the 6.8 will bring more of that energy downrange with it.
Is the 308 SPC the same as a Remington?
The 6.8 design was based off of the .30 Remington cartridge case but fires a .7035 projectile. The 6.8 SPC is not similar or the same as the 7.62x51mm round cartridge. That’s the 308 Winchester that shares the similar dimensions to the 7.62 x 51mm caliber.
What is a 6 8 SPC round?
The 6.8 SPC is a robust little round that can be used for a variety of different tasks. We are going to break down the 6.8 SPC by use and give you a few ammo options for each role. Since the 6.8 SPC is such a versatile round, we’ll pair purpose built cartridges with their actual use.
What is the difference between a 308 and an ar-308?
The .308 will generally require less adjustment for wind and elevation at 500yds because the .308 can drive bullets with a higher ballistic coefficient (BC) to higher velocities. Though, I’m not sure the cost (size, weight, money, etc) of an AR .308 is worth the incremental gain over the 6.8 at 500yds.
